Do you need to submit an important document or piece of writing in English?

Before you rely entirely on AI, take a moment to read on.

I combine the speed and cost-effectiveness of AI with my own experience and expertise to help you with:

  • Easily Understood Sentences: Clear, accurate, and natural English for your readers.

  • Correct Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling: Australian, UK, or US English.

  • Style Compliance: Papers that adhere to the style requirements of your institution or journal.

I specialize in writing, editing, and proofreading for authors who do not speak English as their first language. I work with all types of papers, including:

  • Journal submissions, abstracts, etc.

  • Proposals.

  • Research papers, theses, dissertations, etc.

  • Reports.

  • Newsletters, blogs, and e-books.

  • Copywriting for websites and advertising material.

Make the best impression with clear, correct, and polished English. Contact me and let me know what you need, and I will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote.

So, how much would a typical 500-word blog cost?

The cost depends on the information you provide, and how much research is required. A 500-word article could cost as little as $55. If extensive research is needed, it could still cost as little as $200. I can provide you with a free estimate before we begin.

My process involves writing a first draft and then using AI to suggest improvements in style and content. I implement the good suggestions (and discard the others) and then use AI to proofread and edit the piece of writing. Finally, I thoroughly review the document to eliminate any mistakes and ensure the writing remains accurate, natural, and maintains the correct tone. This first draft is sent to you, and three drafts are included in the price.

And how much would editing a typical 10,000 word journal submission cost?

In the past, such a submission would have cost between $200 and $550, depending on the standard of English. Now, with the aid of AI, $200 is the maximum charge.

My rate is $55 per hour. The advantage of an hourly rate is that the simpler the document, the lower the price. My process involves using AI to proofread, followed by a thorough review to eliminate any mistakes and ensure the writing remains accurate, natural, and maintains the correct tone.

Why choose my services?

  • Affordable Rates: My rates are reasonable and I ensure quality work to encourage your repeat business and recommendations.

  • Comprehensive Writing and Editing/Proofreading: I provide clear, correct, and polished English, tailored to your needs.

  • Multiple Revisions: After the initial writing or editing/proofreading, you can send your document back for additional queries or minor changes (up to 10% of the original text) once, twice or even three times, free of charge.

What if I don't understand the text?

If I encounter unclear or extremely technical text, I do one of two things at no additional cost to you:

  1. Conduct research to understand the content.

  2. Reach out to you for clarification.

This approach ensures your writing is always clear and accurate. While AI tools are helpful, the human touch is essential for truly effective editing. Automated proofreading software can sometimes introduce errors, which is why personalized, professional editing is invaluable.
